Hi, I am one of the lucky/unlucky people who just happens to own an NVidia Geforce 4 card. So, I'm using NVidia's drivers. The only problem with this is that they don't supply GLUT. I used to compile Mesa and then copy the glut.h file to /usr/inclue/GL but there have been a few more versions of Mesa since I last did this and now I'm confused. It appears that now, they have included glut, precompiled in the mesa demos package. But I can't find glut.h in there at all. Plenty of header files but no glut.h. Reading the mesa docs it seems that now the only way to get glut to work with mesa is to already have it. You can't compile it anymore. Does anyone know how I can get glut? Cheers, Darrell |

Hi, as far as I remember, nVidia ships it's own GLUT version with their OpenGL SDK that you can find at their website. I guess I will recommend it as long as you program for your own PC or other nVidia cards. The rest of the SDK is mostly shite, btw (IMHO, that is).

You should download both the MesaLib*.tar.gz and MesaDemos.tar.gz tarballs and compile everything. You'll have a GLUT lib then. I don't offer anything precompiled. -Brian |
